March 01, 2021

90 Day Fiance continues with Season 8, Episode 12.

Wedding bells are ringing in the near future for multiple couples ... but some of them have cold feet.

First up, Brandon seems to feel like the 90 days of the K-1 visa are just a suggestion.

Natalie phones a friend for some very good, much-needed advice about making peace with Mike.

Yara puts on a brave face for Jovi's parents, but her desire for a low-key wedding continues to rub Gwen the wrong way.

Amira and Andrew are once again trying the same bad plan in a new country.

Rebecca takes Zied for a surprise trip, but Zied's the one who drops a bombshell.

Tarik and Hazel decide to tempt fate by chatting with their mutual ex, Minty.

Finally, Stephanie is completely done with Ryan ... so she calls Harris, who comes running to take his place.

1. Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina

Betty is showing Julia how to make lasagna, a dish with which she is unfamiliar as it is not common in Russia (the part of Russia that is in Europe is the part that uses potatoes in everything, not tomatoes in everything . . . there's a pretty clear line). Unfortunately, Betty is teaching her to put WHOLE SLICES of tomato in the lasagna. Maybe some people make it that way, but to me, that would be inedible.

2. They're eating outdoors

While none of them have said anything about lockdown yet, it's clear that COVID-19 is on everyone's minds by this point in their storyline. Remember, this was likely filmed in early March -- planes were still flying, no one was sure about masks, and people were still eating in restaurants.

3. Brandon and Julia's wedding is approaching

At this point, they're what, two months away from their intended (on, gasp, Mother's Day weekend) wedding date, and Julia is looking forward to married life with Brandon ... and a little independence.

4. COVID-19 is impacting Brandon's job

Brandon gibbs describes work with this coronavirus thing
He shares how a lot of places were rescheduling appointments. Brandon has a full time job as a pest control technician, but many places did not want anyone coming into their homes or offices. Honestly -- in retrospect, it's better to let someone spray your home in early March with the understanding that you won't have anyone at your house for the next year. But at the time, what we knew about the virus was very limited.

5. Brandon had some funny moments

Brandon gibbs relates work anecdote amidst pandemic
He described how one woman followed him everywhere, spraying disinfectant in the air. That ... isn't a product of it being early March, 2020. That's about a woman being goofy. (I had to have someone come over to work on the air conditioning, indoors, around that time, and I just avoided contact with him -- if you want to spray disinfectant, do so after the person leaves)

6. Julia brings up something important

She wants to get the paperwork in order for them to get married, and she wants to do it now -- before things, potentially including courthouses, close.
